Why does pressure build up in a benzoic acid aqueous sodium bicarbonate extraction?

An examination of ka values indicates that carboxylic acids are moderately strong acids.
Thus, they undergo acid/base reactions with weak bases such as sodium bicarbonate (ka of which is 10^-7). Having said that, they would also undergo acid/base reactions with stronger bases such as sodium hydroxide.
There is no ppt because the products of an acid/base reaction is an ionic salt.

∙ 14y agoSodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a base. You can view the structure of the bicarbonate anion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate. In the presence of an acid (such as benzoic acid), the hydroxyl functionality (-OH) is protonated. Now this group can leave as neutral water (H2O). What remains is CO2, which is a gas. This gas bubbles out of solution and builds up pressure in the extraction funnel.

Reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate?
what is the reaction of benzoic acid with sodium bicarbonate
In chimistry laboratory how can you separate benzoic acid from para- nitro-anilin with extraction prgress?
Separating benzoic acid from para-nitroaniline requires a mixing stage before the separation stage. The process also requires aqueous sodium hydroxide.
Why does sodium bicarbonate deprotonate benzoic acid but not 2-naphthol?
When you deprotonate benzoic acid with 2-napthonal, carbonic acid is produced. With sodium bicarbonate, it splits into sodium and bicarbonate ions.
How can you distinguish between benzoic acid and benzene?
Benzoic acid will give brisk effervescence on reacting with sodium bicarbonate.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of benzoic acid and toluene using extraction?
Make a solution of Sodium Hydroxide or Sodium Carbonate and do three to four solvent solvent extractions using the aqueous base and the mixture o benzoic acid and toluene. Because benzoic acid reacts with base to form the water soluble carboxylate ion, it will react and the dissolve in the aqueous solution. Upon separation of the two phases acidify the aqueous extract with dilute HCl, a white needle-like precipitate of benzoic acid will form when the solution becomes acidic. Simply filter the crystals, wash with cold water, and then recrystallize using a mixture of 50/50 water and methanol or some other suitable solvent.
Equation for reaction of benzoic acid and sodium bicarbonate?
CH3cooh + NAHCO3
Synthesis of benzanilide from benzoic acid?
You got it wrong, usullay scientist seprerate benzoic acid from benznilide to purifybenzanille by extraction
What is the balanced chemical equation of the reaction of benzoic acid and sodium bicarbonate?
C6H5COOH + NaHCO3 ===> C6H5COO-Na+ + H2O + CO2
In liquid -liquid extraction what factors you consider to choose select the proper solvent as an example consider the extraction of benzoic acid from water?
In the liquid liquid extraction, the solubility of the liquids and the boiling points are some of the factors to consider.
What is the composition of the bubbles observed when the crude methyl benzoate product is washed with sodium bicarbonate?
Bubbles are mostly of carbon dioxide which are produced by the Action of sodium bicarbonate on remaining amount of benzoic acid.
How do you separate benzoic acid from a mixture of CONGO RED and salt?
Dissolve the mixture in an apolar organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, and extract the acid with the addition of NaOH. The bezoic acid with ionize and go into the aqueous solution. Separate the two layers and add HCl to the aqueous layer to precipitate the benzoic acid. Wash the remaing ether solution with water and dry it with an anhydrous salt. Filter the ether solution and then remove the ether, the solvent, in order to obtain the pure benzoin.
Why is benzoic acid is extracted into ether then extracted into an alkali solution prior to being precipitated with strong acid in its preparation with grignard reagent?
When you're attempting to extract benzoic acid from other organic compounds, it is necessary to change its pH by adding a layer of an basic compound such as 1M NaOH so that the benzoic acid then can be separated from the organic layer within a separatory funnel. When in NaOH, the benzoic acid loses a proton and thus becomes its conjugate base (the benzoate ion). The benzoate ion is charged and thus become miscible in the aqueous layer. To extract benzoic acid (ie get it to precipitate out of solution), a strong acid such as HCl must be added to solution. After the extraction, lower the pH of the solution, and recrystalize (use ice after the recrystalization to get benzoic acid crystals to crash out).
